occupying little space, provides for an un# lobstructed sound chamber of ainple capacity.4 lith this object in view, suggest to adapt the d'rivinggear for being Wliollyor partlyl moved out ot'` the cabinet so that the Vtree' space thus established within the cabifnet constitutes.

, or forms part of, the sound chamber.V Y

In order that my invention `may* be well I understood, I shall now proceed to describe Yone preferred embodiment thereof witli're'- erence tothe annexed drawing, in which Fig.

1 illustrates a Vertical sectional elevation ot the talking machine with the lid oi' the cabinet clown, Figs. 2 and o being a side elevational view and a plan view, respectively,

of the talking machine in its operative position. Y i

The cabinetl is provided with a lid 2 `hinged thereto and furtherfwith a drawer or slidable casing Bcontaining the usual spring.

motor not known), adapted to be ywound up as at fi by means ofa crank and, when' running down, to drive the turntable 5.: Iit'the lid is down, the crank 6 is Locatedy within vthe, saine andppartly projects through a hole 7 in the top of the casing 3, while the sound arm 8, which also is llocated within the lid, partly projects through a circular aperture 12 in the top of t-lie cabinet and is supported by a pin 13. The sound box l0, provided With the usual stylus bar or the like, is'carried by a goose neckQ pivotally connected with the sound VVarin 8.

To put the machine in operation','the lid 2 is opened and the casing drawn out by the 4u desirable manner. h d K `which t-he casing 3 is tobe drawn out ot the handle 1/1. Thereupon, the sound arm is taken oit the pin 13 andplace'd upon anotherY Apin (not shown)V centrally within' a second aperture 19 in the top wall otthe cabinet,y see Fig. 3, A record'lG is placed'upon the turntable, the goose neck 9 with Athe' sound box 1'0 swung over and the door l5y opened,

lwhen the machine is ready foriuse. The

4door 15 closes the opening 17 ink a` side walll of thecasing and is here shown as hinged at 18, butinaylbe inounted'in any`v suitableor The distance, 'through y i cabinet, depends uponthe diameterv of the lrecord to be reproduced. 7

. 1 v .Y said 'sound As will be seen, the space within the cabinet, which voriginally was occupied by theV casing now fo'rnis part of the sound chain- '-1 ber, which, therefore, is of' ainplegcapacity although the dimensions oi the talking nia-v clinics in' its inoperative position according to Fie. 1 are minimum.

Yit will ybe understood Vthat itis not neccsu .sary for thecasing 3 to be slidable withinthe cabinet soas'to vbe .adapted to be swung out,

That I claim is 1 Q1. A portable phonographmachine coni- Aprisinga n'iotorand record support, a tone arm, and a casing for housing said support.y
